Application Method
Deploy multi-catch mouse traps in areas with high mouse activity. These traps catch multiple mice (10-30 depending on model) without resetting, making them effective for heavy infestations and reducing service frequency. Place along walls where droppings or mouse activity observed. Bait with small amount of peanut butter, bird seed, or nesting material to lure mice inside. Some models use ramp entry, others use tipping doors. Mice can enter but cannot escape. Check traps at least every 2-3 days to prevent overcrowding, odors, and stress to captured mice. More effective than snap traps in commercial settings with high mouse populations. Can catch mice continuously 24/7 without technician present.
Timing
Deploy when mouse activity confirmed by droppings, sightings, or glue board catches. Most effective when combined with exclusion and sanitation.
Frequency
Check every 2-3 days during active infestation. Weekly checks may be sufficient after population reduced. Empty and reset as needed. Continue trapping for 2 weeks after last catch.
Preparation Required
Identify areas with heaviest mouse activity. Clear clutter to allow trap placement along walls. Remove competing food sources. Have appropriate bait ready.
Follow-up Required
Empty traps as soon as mice captured to prevent overcrowding and odors. Record catch numbers. Continue trapping until no catches for 2 weeks. Increase exclusion efforts to prevent reentry. Sanitize traps thoroughly between uses.
Safety Precautions
- Place away from children and pets
- Use tamper-resistant stations if needed
- Wear gloves when handling trapped mice
- Humanely euthanize captured mice before disposal
- Dispose of mice in sealed plastic bags
- Sanitize and disinfect traps between uses
